The Centre for Digital Innovation provides a multidisciplinary research and innovation environment in which our academics, researchers and students work collaboratively.  We also work in collaboration with other Centres within and outside the University, across areas including health & wellbeing, biosciences, social science, engineering, business and education.

Our members work to meet the growing demand for digital technologies and media research and innovation in order to tackle the economic, societal and contemporary technological challenges we face today.

This requires the knowledge and understanding of how we can use technologies to enhance capacity and efficiency, increase productivity, improve accuracy and reduce costs to address real-world problems.
